Origin OF rte G.. 4. +.

Its originator was DR.. Benjamin F.
Stephenson, a physician of Springfield,
Ills. who had served as surgeon in the
Fourteenth Illinois Infantry during the
war. lie first suggested the idea in Feb
ruary, 1866. Published accounts state
that Decatur, Ills. was the birthplace of
the order, but the only living conrade of
the four who were present at the first
muster and mutually took the obligation,
according to the ritual Dr.. Stevenson had
prepared. says that it was founded at
Springfield.
The first formal organization Of post
occurred. however, beyond question, on
April 6, 1866. at the village of Decatur,
which contained only iorty-three Union
soldiers.
Among the oriSinators Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic were Messrs. Col
trim and Pryor, proprietors of The Deca-
tUr Tribune. and their compositors. who
printed the first ritual of the Grand Army,
as written by DR.. Stephenson.
Soon after Post No. : was formed at
Springfield, and others were quickly in
st:tuted throughout Illinois. Wisconsin,
Indiana. Ohio, Iowa and Missouri.
On July II, 1866. the first department
encampment was held at Springfield, Ills.
john N. Palmer was elected department
commander.-New York Herald.

4 Dot in the China Sea.

The little island of Pootoo, one Of the
Chusan group, about $50 miles from
Shanghai and forty from Ningpo, is a
beautiful little dot in the China sea, some
four miles square and sacred to the priest
hood and worship of Buddha.
Perhaps the main object of the Chinese
pilgrim in visiting Pootoo is to hear what
the oracle has TO say at this temple: for a
fortune told here is supposed to be de-
hneated by the great Buddha himself.
Chinese pay handsomely for these mani
festations and every white man doing the
island is supposed to have his fortune told.
The business costs about two OF three
dollars, and is marked with considerable
ceremony and ingeniousHess.
The great golden idol Of the temple
holds in his right hand sort Of cornuco-
pia filled with numbered bamboo sticks.
On payment of the fee the officiating
priest makes obeisance to the deity and
waves incense before him, which is fol-
lowed by some hidden machinery making
the hand rattle up the sticks and drop two
or three. These are reverently picked up
and The combination deciphered, written
out on fancy paper and handed to the Gus
toner.
The writer has before him one of these
manifestations translated verbatim by
Chinese office boy. Though rather OBJ
scure it is not altogether devoid Of an ell
ement Of the encouraging and poetic. 1t
runs thus:
1.-THE joss say you come the time au-
tumn. I tell You l compare you as
stork; then you get fair wind you fly up
to heaven: no, any bird can pass YOU -

Riding on an Engine.

You will never find me riding on an en-
CINE simply for the sensation Of watching
the roadway. At one time had reSu-
lar passion for that kind of thing, and in
every case where a permit could be OBJ
tanned rode in the cab. 1t was on the
Burlington two years ago that | received
4 lesson which will not be forgotten. The
engineer and fireman were in their Gus
tonlary seats, and I was on the right
side leaning against the cab, chatting with
the men, Something led me to inquire
how many ways of escape were open IN
case of an accident. The engineer, Jim
Goodwin. looked around and gravcly an
swered: Only two," nodding at the Win
lows. What is the third man to do:' was
my next question. BE crushed by the
tender" was the laconic reply.
You bet. thought good deal, and at
the next :-rtion, Red Oak, think l told
jim tia; 20 back 20 the coach, chances
were ton slim on the foothOard. Jim
shook hands, remarking that he never
liked to see Il friend in the cab. You may
call it q presentiment if you please, but
that talk saved my life. In the course of
another hour we ran into car that stuck
over the end Of a switch. Jim slapped on
the air brake. threw over his lever and
went ont of the window, and his fireman
jumped on the other side. The engine was
ditched and the tender piled right into the
cab. where would have been crushed.
Ny friend Jim spraned his ankle, broke
one arm and was terribly cut about the
head, although none of his injuries were
fatal. Now ride in the place assigned to
passeneers.--T L. CRANKY in Globe-Dem-

Students of Hampton Institute.

The body of Indian students has never

Oueen Christmas Tact.

A we'll known poet of Spain, deservedly
famous for his work, was at the same
time a man of most advanced radical
opinions. and waged such bitter and open
war against the regency that he was at
last arrested, tried and eXiled- He was
but scantily endowed with the worlds
goods. and the wife and children he left
behind soon fell into absolute poverty.
The poet petitioned Queen Christina for
pardon in their behalf, and was at once
permitted by her to return to Spain and
to his family. He obtained an audience
and went IN person TO tender his thanks
to the sovereign and offer the expressions
of his gratitude and homage. He was
graciously treated, less as the enemy that
was than the future friend.
Suddenly the queen said: You are not
rich, senior: literary men of merit seldom
are, and you have a large family, have
you not;;
Il have six children, your majesty"
Six continued the queen; then there
are three for you and three for me-"
From that day the poets three daugh-
ter's were cared for and educated at the
queens expense, who considers them as
her special and personal charge.-.Chicago

City Man in tho Country.

The average man. city born and raised,
is only too apt to regard somewhat con-
temptuouslv the simple art of the coun-
try1nan as he follows the plow or hews
the oak into well balanced rails, lightly
imagining such tasks Of easy acquire
merit and on a level with the rural intel
lecr, and the spectacle that he presents
when he would go and do likewise is
often laughable. There is nothing, in
fact. so calculated TO shake the conf
dence of me young man who goes west
to embark in farming or some kindred
pursuit as the finding of his unfitness for
some Of the simplest manual tasks. He
will discover that his superior u1etropoli-
tan knowledge arails him but little and is
lightly held by those about HMM short,
that he is as unsophisticated in his new
surroundings as would be the yokel in the
city. He learns that even such despised
work as currying horse or driving
nail requires knowledge, and the chances
are that if he is sensible his sense of
federation will be appreciably strength
ened and his horizon widened before his
palms are fairly hardened and he has
grown accustomed to his new conditions.

Highly Essential Oi's.

came across queer old llshmonger az

tanned from fiuny inhabitants Of the deep,
most of which had never heard Of in my
life before. lie kept them on long shelf.

medicinal purposes. In No. l, he eN-
planned. was porpoise Oil, derived from the
jawbOuc of that Interesting animal, which

tried out from the entrails of ecls and
pickerel are frequently prescribed. so the

skins OF ccl:, by the way, are sovereign
cure for cramps if tied around the waist.
More than lialf Of the big bottles were
filled with cod liver oil. OF this the pro-
duction is, of course, far greater than that
Of all the rest combined.
The process of refining it, am told, is
quite elaborate. TO this-by far the
greatest fish market in the United States
many millions of livers are brought
every season by salty trawlers, who sell
them at the docks to manufacturers
agents. The crude oil is passed through
boiling water, so that it may be thorough
ly cooked. and then poured into canvas
bags. These bags arc squeezed beneath
hydraulic presses, the lard like stearine
remaining inside, while the Oleine oozes
out ready to put up for the market. This
cod liver oil. OF the best quality, can be
obtained from the manufacturer by any
one who cares to bring his own receptacle
at Sl.25 per gallon. Apothecuries charge
about this per quart. Among the rareSt
of the fish products exhibited by the old
market man was melon oil-so called be-
cause it has the fragrance of the musk
melon. 1t is q secretion in the nose OF
pilot whale, and is the best lubricant
known-short of porpoise oil-for delicate
machinery Its congealing point is so
low that it remains liquid with the ther-
mometer at zero. Another curious OIL
which is SO susceptible to cold that If
placed in 4 temperature where ice melts
it will freeze, is extracted from the fat at
the base of the forelegs of the Indus river
crocodile. 1t is 4 famous leather dressing.

Japanese Wooden Shoes.

In Japan children shoes are made Of
blocks of wood secured with cords. The
stocking resembles mitten, having L
separate place for the great toe. AS these
shoes are lifted only by the toes, the
heels make rattling sound as their own
ers walk, which is quite stunning in a
crowd. They arc not worn in the house,
as they would injurc the soft straw mats
on the floor. You leave your shoes. at
the door. Every house is built with refer
ence to the number of mats required for
the floors, each room having from eight
to sixteen. and in taking lodgings sou
paw so much for a mat. They think 1t
extravagant i'll us to require whole
room to ourselves.
The japanese shoe gives perfect free
dom to the foot. The beauty Of the hu'
man foot is only seen in the japanese.
They have no corns, no ingrowing nails,
no distorted joints. Our toes are cramPed
until they are deformed and are in danger
of extinction. They have the full use OF
their toes. and to them they are almost
like fingers. Nearly every mechanic
makes use of his toes in holding his work.
Every toe is fully developed. Their shoes
cost one penny and last six months

The Worst Waiter of All.

Ine native born American is the worst
waiter of them all. He comes to the busi-
ness through misfortune, and he is Il dis
gusted. disheartened and thoroughly disa-
creeable man. He is bound to show his
contempt fer the work by slamning the
dishes upon the table, growing at the
guests, grumbling at any extra service,
and accepting his tips without thanks.
There are some good walters of almost
every nationality under the sun except
Americans. Some people might think the
college boys who serve the tables of the
mountain hotels in summer were an eX-

tables of Il summer hotel in the mountains
is not waiting. Besides, the impression
